Flandre Ateliers Chooses CenterVision and IntelliScan XDS from BancTec
DALLAS, March 6 /PRNewswire/ --
BancTec, a global provider of advanced, high-volume, document and payment
processing services and solutions, announced today that French services
provider Flandre Ateliers has selected BancTec's CenterVision(TM) content
management solution and IntelliScan(R) XDS high-volume production scanner for
its service operation in Tourcoing, France.
Flandre Ateliers manages incoming mail for customers and then converts
the information into a digital format. Seeking to enhance its capabilities
and provide more customized mail-processing solutions for one of its largest
clients - Orange - Flandre Ateliers in 2008 conducted a benchmark test of all
the key electronic document management solution vendors. After the benchmark
was concluded, Flandre Ateliers chose BancTec's CenterVision and IntelliScan
XDS because of their unique control and configuration capabilities. The
configuration capabilities of BancTec's solutions, which enable disabled
employees to better execute work requirements, were especially key to Flandre
Ateliers' decision.
"The Social Enterprise employs 280 contributors, of which more than 80%
are handicapped. We needed an ergonomic solution that could easily adapt to
the final user, as well as meet our client's business requirements," said
Herve Knecht, president of the board at Flandre Ateliers. "In this instance,
CenterVision's data capture tool, with its ease of configuration, was the
perfect answer to our adaptation challenges. Moreover, the real-time
management and monitoring capabilities, as well as the ability to dynamically
reassign technical and human resources as needed, help us meet client
requirements. We believe these are the best performing solutions on the
market and will differentiate our service capabilities."
The 15,000 mail items received daily by Flandre Ateliers on behalf of
Orange represent approximately 45,000 pages to be processed. Previously,
Flandre Ateliers manually pre-processed incoming mail and classified all
documents prior to scanning. The data set was then sent to the SI service at
Orange to be processed. Much of the manual effort will now be automated
thanks to CenterVision, which allows for the capture, extraction, sorting,
indexation, and distribution of incoming information.
"We are delighted to win this contract with our latest transaction
content processing solution, CenterVision," said Pascal Wirth, general
manager at BancTec France. "CenterVision will enable Flandre Ateliers to
automate Orange's client-mail processing, as well as increase its ability to
quickly provide new services for other clients."
Based on a business process management platform, CenterVision is a
complete document and transactional content management (TCM) solution.
CenterVision allows for overall production piloting and document tracing
(physical/logical) at each production step, including multi-site,
multi-client, multi-application, multi-document, and multi-format capture,
with final export to other business applications.
The power of CenterVision lies in its ability to:
-- Absorb a wide variety of information flow types, whether in-house or
remote thanks to its import and telecollection module.
-- Forecast future workload.
-- Enable a user to supervise and redirect processing via its real time
instrument panel.
-- Dynamically allocate technical and human resources to meet service
commitments.
